2065, NSW 2090, NSW

Postcode 2065 and postcode 2090 are neighbouring areas in Greater Sydney with distinct demographic profiles. Postcode 2065 is younger, with a typical resident aged 37, while postcode 2090 is noticeably older at 41. There is also a gap in diversity and education, as postcode 2065 has a higher share of people born overseas (42.7% compared to 37.6%) and more adults with a bachelor degree or higher (61.8% compared to 56.6%). The two areas differ sharply in their schools; postcode 2065 has five schools and a high share of government primary and secondary options, whereas postcode 2090 has just one large independent combined school.

These two areas share a very similar core, with almost identical numbers of children under 15, typical weekly personal incomes, and an average of 2.1 people per home. This shared baseline exists alongside a growing divide in housing and age; the gap in outright home ownership has widened since 2011, and the proportion of seniors is now 5.6 percentage points higher in postcode 2090. While both are well above the national figure for renting, this is even more common in postcode 2065, where 49.8% of households rent.
